AV PURCHASING PROCEDURES
Please follow these guidelines for quick processing:
1. Please complete the attached AV preview-firm order form in its entirety.
2. Send completed form to the Miner Memorial Library, Attn: Acquisitions.
3. Upon receipt of the DVD, the acquisitions technician will notify you that it is in the faculty AV
order box (LRC, L-160). The item will have your name on it with a card informing you of the
date that the preview is due back. You typically have 2 weeks to preview. This is due to the
mailing and processing time needed at both the receiving and return stages.
4. Sign and date the card showing receipt of the item; leave card in the box.
5. The preview form should be returned with item indicating a ‘YES’ with your signature and your
division chairperson’s signature. If marked ‘NO’ then only your signature is necessary. Please
indicate why it isn’t suitable.
6. Please return the item(s) by the due date.
7. You will be notified by the Library processing department when your item is available for
check-out. Please note that the item isn’t available until it has been processed.
8. Ordering preview DVDs will cease at the end of March in order to complete all previews and
returns prior to May finals. Note: Four weeks shipping plus 2 weeks review takes us to finals
week.
